Visualizing and exploring a music library using metadata, such as genre, sub genre, artist, and year, is provided. Geometric shapes, such as disks or rectangles, may be divided into sectors (50) representing genre and each sector (50) may be further divided into sub-sectors (60) representing artists associated with each genre. The relative size of sector 50 generally reflects the importance of the corresponding genre within the library. Likewise, the relative size of sub-sector (60) generally reflects the importance of the corresponding artist within the genre which may be determined by the number of media items of the artist. Marks (100) representing each media item may be arranged and displayed within the geometric shape to reflect the corresponding genre, artist, and year of mark (100). In addition, each mark (100) may reflect an attribute (132), such as playcount (134), of the media item and each sector (50) may reflect the mean value of an attribute (132) of all media items within sector (50).
